1 Claim.

This invention relates to a combination comb, brush and hair receiver.

It is an object of the present invention to provide in one assembly a comb, brush and hair receiver wherein as the comb and brush is removed from the hair receiver part, an opening is made accessible to drop the hair into the receptacle and wherein there is provided, within the opening, a pulling means for sliding the hair from the finger.

Other objects of the invention are to provide a combined comb, brush and hair receptacle ar rangement which is of simple construction, inexpensive to manufacture, has a minimum number of parts, easy to assemble, of pleasing appearance, compact and convenient to use.

For a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective View of the combined arrangement.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view, taken on line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is an exploded view with the parts lifted from one another and with certain of the parts being broken away to show the interior construction thereof.

Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the hair receptacle cover and the opening therein normally closed by flexible members through which hair is extended to the receptacle.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view showing the manner in which a finger is extended through the opening and the hair upon engaging with the flexible members being held and removed from the finger.

Referring now to the figures, It represents a hair receptacle, having a bottom 5! and a side wall l2. This receptacle can be of any desired shape. A cover that serves to support the brush and comb is releasably fitted to the top opening of the receptacle it. This cover is indicated generally at l3 and has an upstanding side wall M. on the under side of the cover are depending bosses l5 and i5 which respectively have spring detent devices ll engageable with the edge of the wall 12 Of the receptacle to hold the cover 13 in place thereupon, In the center of the cover 13 is an opening it through which hair can be extended for deposit in the receptacle It). This opening is normally closed by flexible closure member l9 having slit portions 2 i, the slits being extended radially from the center so that as a finger, as shown in Fig. 5, is extended through the opening and through the slit portions 2! with a lock of hair 22, the lock of hair upon the finger being pulled therefrom will be removed from the finger and dropped in the receptacle Hi. In this manner a large quantity of hair can be made to collect in the receptacle ii).

The wall M of the cover i3 provides a recess 2 in which brush bristles 23 of a brush 24 may extend. The brush backing will have its periphery extend about the edge of the wall 14 of the cover.

The brush 24 has an elongated slot 25 that extends through the bottom face of the backing so that a comb 26 can be disposed in the slot and extended downwardly into the brush bristles 23 and be housed partly within the wall 14 of the cover [3. This arrangement of the slot provides for a full insertion of the comb within the brush and renders the assembly more compact.

It will be apparent that access can be easily had to the hair receptacle by simply removing the entire cover 13. The comb 26 can be taken from the brush 24 and used without removing the brush from the cover l3. If it is desired to use the brush, the brush can similarly be removed from the cover 13 and upon freeing the comb 2E therefrom the brush is readily made adaptable for use.

While various changes may be made in the detail construction, it shall be understood that such changes shall be within the spirit and scope of the appended claim.

I claim:

A hair receptacle brush and comb combination comprising a hair receptacle having a bottom portion and a surrounding wall portion, a cover releasably attached to the wall portion and having an opening in the bottom portion through which hair may be extended to the receptacle, said cover having a raised wall portion, a brush having a backing fitting about the raised wall portion and having bristles extendable into the wall portion of the cover and said brush having an elongated slot in the backing thereof and a comb slidably fitted into said slot, and said cover for the receptacle having detent devices engageable with the wall portion of the receptacle to releasably hold the cover thereupon, said slot in the brush backing extending through the loottom face of the backing so that the comb ex tended through the slot may be embedded in the brush bristles, and flexible sheet means secured to the bottom of the cover and lying over the opening thereof, said flexible sheet means being slit regularly from the center thereof to receive a finger with a lock of hair and to remove the lock of hair from the finger upon the return movement of the finger.
